I used nimby in the contest that new houses are not wanted in my area. I am in Canada, and have lived here since 1948, so I am neutral to AIRbnb, but I feel they should exist and not be run out of town this way. Laws need to change to permit easy new home/apartment construction, or companies will simple leave because they can not get any employees.

AirBNB isn't being run out of town, nor does this have to do with real estate development. This is enforcement of previously enacted legislation that AirBNB has refused to enforce. In other words, it's adding teeth to existing laws. This is a good thing.

    No, that's not the case at all. Laws without enforcement or strength are a waste of time and the legal process. They should all have teeth, otherwise it's just a waste. This adds teeth to the previous law and makes it worthwhile. That's all.
